She'd sworn off love. But can he heal her battered heart?
To heal from the wounds of her abusive marriage, Veronica James returns to her grandmother's bookshop in small-town Butterscotch Ridge. The first thing she does is transform the dusty old shop into a cozy bakery/café. The second? Steel her heart against the charms of her first love, sexy rancher Mark Stirling. He's never stopped longing for a second chance with the girl who got away, and he's willing to accept whatever Roni is willing to give. But when their "friends with benefits" deal reveals emotions that run deep, maybe Mark can convince her that together they're the perfect blend.
